[Experience in the use of epidural anesthesia in a multi-profile hospital].
The article analyses the experience of the use of 14,634 epidural anesthesia procedures in a city multi-profile hospital. The authors express their ideas on the use of epidural anesthesia with opiates and local analgesics as one of the anesthetic techniques in the operative and postoperative periods. All the complications and adverse events of epidural anesthesia are thoroughly analysed, with the number indicated somewhat lower than in other articles by Soviet authors. Ways of decreasing the frequency of complications are suggested and wider use of the technique is recommended.
